THE HOME NURSERIES. A Model Vineyard and Fruit Farm.

The original Home Nurseries was estab- lished in 1S49, in Benton counuv, Tenn, by D, l.. Little, In 1880 Mir. Little came to Ar kansas with the view of purchasing property and moving his business west. He was pleased with this section of Arkansas, and returning to Tennessee sent his son, Mr. 4. H. Little, out to further the plans for future operations. It seems. however. that the young gentleman partially lost sight of the object for which his father had sent him, and became deeply absorbed in the more senti- mental subject of rimony. The result was, that he married one of our fair daugh ters within three month afler his arrival MT. Little and his inther-iii-hw, Mir. T. J. McClendon, at once opened up lively nursery, vineyard and fruit farm in the wes- tern suburbs of Nashville, which they sue cessfully conducted for two years. By this time their business had grown to such pro- portions that thcy found their little farm of thirty or forty acres entirely too small to supply the rapidly growing demand for nursery stock, and in 1885 Mir. Little turned the business over to his father-in-law and associated himself with Mir. J. G. W
 Yowell, one of Nashville's lending business men, for the purpose of prosecuting the nursery supply business on much larger scale. The new firm at once purchased the Reese farm, containing leo acres, admirably located in the northern suburbs, overlooking the city. The soil and general surroundings are admirably suited to the successful growth of nursery goods, and the situation is especially suited for the establishment of a large and hourishing vineyard and fruit farm. They at once set sixty acres in the very finest varieties of grapes and orchard fruits-50 acres in a vineyard and 30 acres ir orchard fruits. They constantly added to the extent and variety of their stock, and to day they are doing the largest and most systematic nursury business in the South. west. Their plant this spring alone con sisted of l20,000 fruit and ornamental trees, and over 100000 grape cuttings, besides u large number and variety of roses, shrubs, etc. They have, among their numerous or ders for tall delivery, Il single order iroia Il Kansas firm for 12,250 grape vines. They expect to ship several tons of grapes and other fruits to Northern markets this season. They also contemplate building T commodi- ous wine cellar on the farm aud large cold storage and packing house in town. It will thus be seen that the Home Nurseries Is one of the leading and important industries of our prosperous and growing little city. Their large and increasing business is best 
 strictest honor and business integrity, and conduct everything. hom the vineyard and orchard in a careful and systematic manner.
